Keeping your home and budget healthy

Healthier Homes Canterbury

is proud to be part of the Healthier Homes Canterbury scheme run by the Environment Canterbury Regional Council to help make your home warmer, drier and healthier.

Canterbury homeowners can now get a $6000 rates advance to pay for home heating, insulation and ventilation improvements.

The Healthier Homes Canterbury enables eligible Canterbury ratepayers to add the cost of home heating, insulation and/or ventilation products and installation to their rates bills. A maximum of $6,000 (including GST) is available per ratepayer.

The full amount plus interest will be paid back via their rates bills over nine years. This interest rate makes the scheme cost neutral to the rest of the community.

The interest rate for those joining before 30 June 2019 is 5.9% pa and will remain fixed for the full nine years.
